Answer:
G. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Rachel = x
Trina = y
x = 2y - 6
x = (2x9) - 6
x = 18 - 6
x = 12
X= -15/2

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of nurses to docters a month ago was 3:5. Now, it's 4:5. You can tell that there aren't 4 nurses because 3 => 4 is only one nurse. If you duplicate both ratios (multiply both sides by 2), you get 6:10 (for a month ago) and 8:10 (now). This is correct because 6+2=8. Hope it helps!
You have to know a great deal more about where Q and Q' are before you can say much of anything. The problem is listed a s a middle school problem so you are likely permitted to go by the way it looks, but that is not a habit that I would continue using.
So if the triangles SQR and S'Q'R' are congruent, and if they are orientated exactly the same way which means that the distance between QQ' and RR' is a constant (and those are big ifs), then you can claim that QQ' is parallel to the other two lines. Is it the same length as the other two? Again, you obtained the other two by measurement. It looks like SQR and S'Q'R' are equilateral and if that is correct then yes they lengths are all equal. But your marker could do just about anything with this question.
If you have a person marking this, talk it over with them. I say QQ' is equal and parallel to the other two, but don't be surprised if it is wrong.
